WHEREAS, the Seniors in Community Service Program is a Title V Program funded
under the Older Americans Act representing jobs for 54,200 elderly low-income
citizens nation-wide, and
WHEREAS, the Seniors in Community Service Program is administered locally by the
St. Paul Urban League and provides job opportunities for some 44 Senior citizens
in our City:
- The Senior in Community Services Program has a seven dollar economic return
to the community for each dollar invested
- The work performed by Seniors in this program constitute a valuable community
service as well as extending the productive lives of these persons
- The limited income earned by these working seniors assists them in meeting
their basic needs in terms of food, clothing, shelter and ever rising
energy costs, and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Congress voted almost unanimously to reauthorize the Title V
Seniors in Community Service Program for FY 1983, and
WHEREAS, the Office of Management and Budget has recently recommended the elimination
of this employment program for low income older workers, and
WHEREAS, the Title V Seniors in Comnunity Service Program funded under the Older
Americans Act represent one of the few remaining shreds of the otherwise tattered
safety net, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the St. Paul City Council is on record in support of the Title V
Seniors in Community Service Program and call upon the House and Senate Appropriations
Subcommittees for Labor, Health & Human Services to authorize continuing resolution
funding of this Program through June 30, 1983.
